One of my fondest memories as a child is going by the river and sitting idly on the bank．There I would 36 the peace and quiet, watch the water rush 37 and listen to the singing of birds and the rustling of 38 in the trees．I would also watch the bamboo trees 39 under pressure from the wind and watch them 40 gracefully to their original position after the wind had 41 ．
When I think about the bamboo tree's ability to bounce back to its original position, the word resilience es to mind．When used in 42 to a person, this word means the ability to readily 43 from shock, depression or any other situation that stretches the limits of a person's 44 ．
Have you ever felt like you are at your 45 point? Thankfully, you have survived the experience to live to talk about it．
During the 46 you probably felt a mix of emotions that threatened your health．You felt emotionally drained（枯竭）, 47 exhausted and you most likely stood 48 physical symptoms．
Life is a 49 of good times and bad times, happy moments and unhappy moments．The next time you are experiencing one of those bad times or unhappy 50 that take you close to your breaking point, bend, 51 don't break．Try your best not to let the situation get the best of you．
A measure of hope will take you 52 the unpleasant ordeal （考验）．With 53 for a better tomorrow or a better situation, things may not be as bad as they seem to be．The unpleasant ordeal may be easier to 54 if the final result is worth having．
If life gets 55 and you are at your breaking point, show resilience．Like the bamboo tree, bend, but don't break!
